In mid-August, SwedCham Malaysia together with the Swedish Embassy had the honor of welcoming Mr. Stefan Ingves to the Swedish Residence for an engaging talk with members of the Swedish business community. Mr. Ingves is best known for his long tenure as Governor of Sveriges Riksbank, Swedish Central Bank (2006–2022), where he was instrumental in shaping Sweden’s monetary policy and strengthening financial stability, as well as his leadership roles with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Now serving on the Board of Asia School of Business (ASB) in Kuala Lumpur, Mr. Ingves shared valuable insights into the current economic situation in Sweden as well as globally, including trends in monetary policy, inflation, and financial market dynamics. His visit offered the business community a rare opportunity to hear from one of Sweden’s most influential financial leaders. Prior to Mr Ingves lecture, Professor Hans Genberg gave a brief introduction to Asia School of Business and what type of programs they offer. (Reach out to us at the Secretariat if you are interested to collaborate with ASB; IKEA had a fruitful collaboration with their senior business students two years back!)
